Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 311 Changes in Jinmen (1)

“It’s hard to do things, but it’s even harder to do practical things.”

A powerful voice sounded. In a crowded main hall, Chen Qiyu sat on an official hat chair and looked around the crowd gathered in the hall. "You have been screened at all levels and finally stayed at Tianjin Customs. In some cases, I have to first I want to make it clear to you that I hope you will keep it in mind and not just talk about it."

"Here!"

All the people gathered in the hall raised their hands and bowed and sang.

"The opening of the sea to trade in Tianjin is a special gift from His Majesty. Unlike the opening of the sea in other places, Tianjin will allow Western merchants to dock and land."

Chen Qiyu lifted up the sleeves of his robe and said eloquently: "In order to ensure the smooth flow of maritime affairs, His Majesty has issued a decree, and a customs office has been set up in Tianjin to collect customs duties on maritime trade. This tax is different from customs duties and customs duties. etc., which are also slightly different from those opened in the past.

The specific differences have been explained one by one before, so I won’t go into details here.

However, the collected customs tax must not be less than one cent. If you dare to let me know, who dares to collect less or embezzle the tax for your own personal gain, once found out, I will definitely punish you severely! "

As the Tianjin Military Bei Dao Military Constitution, as time went by, more and more things were done by Chen Qiyu's hands, which also increased Chen Qiyu's responsibilities.

The Tianjin Three Guards at this stage have changed a lot compared to when Chen Qiyu first came to Tianjin to take up his post. This change is something that many people did not expect.

The Tianjin Acropolis, which was once severely damaged, began to be renovated under Chen Qiyu's organization and arrangements, and even part of the city walls had to be relocated.

Although the city wall is an obstacle to development, in the context of the cold weapon era, the city wall is a guarantee of stabilizing people's hearts. What's more, Tianjin wants to open up the sea for trade, and even allows Western merchants to dock ashore. As the gateway to the capital and Gyeonggi, Tianjin must not Are there any hidden dangers!
In addition to renovating the city walls, the water conservancy and roads under Tianjin were also steadily advanced under Chen Qiyu's organization, which also brought a large number of laborers to Tianjin.

Officials are different from officials.

In the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, there were many officials who only talked about things, but there were also officials who did practical things. Are the things that happened in the officialdom not a reflection of the various aspects of life?

"Although Tianjin has now opened up sea trade to the outside world, it may still take a long time for the Western merchants who go north to Tianjin to come to Tianjin for trade."

Chen Qiyu continued: "The Tianjin Port that is clearly planned to be built will take a certain amount of time to be completed, so Tianjin Customs is relatively easy to handle. However, Tianjin Acropolis has a lot of matters to sort out. In order to ensure that tax collection matters are progressing steadily, so Tianjin Customs will temporarily allocate a group of manpower to assist.

This batch of temporarily transferred manpower will gradually return to the original office as Tianjin Customs handles the business. If you have any problems during this period, you can come directly to me for clarification. "

Even though Chen Qiyu was sitting in the position of Bingbei Dao Bingxian, the errands he did had already exceeded his standards, even if he was a governor of a place, it would not be an exaggeration.

However, Zhu Youxiao, who is far away in the capital, does not plan to set up a governor in Tianjin. Instead, he will wait for the right time to withdraw and set up a government in Tianjin. The special Tianjin government will be directly under the jurisdiction of the central government, and its level will be comparable to that of the governor. All this is to enable Tianjin to develop better.

"It seems that the military constitution is planning to tax the Thirteenth Line."

"This is no joke. After all, it is a trading company established by Beijing Xungui, and it still responds to the emperor's call."

"So what can we do? Our military commander is still favored by the emperor. Think about it, how much money has been transferred directly from internal funds in the past."

"That's the truth, but things are different. After all..." After a resolution on Tianjin Customs ended, the officials who left gathered in small groups and chatted about what they thought as they walked.

As officials who have been selected to stay in Tianjin Customs after many layers of screening, none of them are simple. Some of them may have read a lot of books, but they are very good at pondering people's hearts.

Everyone knows that after this resolution, the previous loose conditions for the Thirteenth Bank will inevitably be tightened. After all, after the Thirteenth Bank was established in Tianjin, the business of Tianjin Acropolis also changed.

The prosperity of the world comes because of profit, and the prosperity of the world comes because of profit.

Wherever wealth can be gathered, overt and covert battles and games are bound to emerge in endlessly, and any flaw in any link will lead to serious losses.

As the chief official of Tianjin, with high hopes from the emperor, Chen Qiyu would never allow these things to happen. Since Tianjin has set up a port to open the sea, it must change its situation.

When the officials of Tianjin Customs, large and small, left the Tianjin Bingbei Road Office, Chen Qiyu did not take any time off. Instead, he summoned officials from the newly established taxation office.

Some things need to be sorted out.

"In order to stabilize Tianjin in the past, the Taxation Department has not fully taken over tax matters since its establishment." Chen Qiyu, who was sitting on the official hat chair, looked at the officials of the Taxation Department in front of him and said with a serious expression.

"But from tomorrow onwards, all tax collection matters in and out of Tianjin Acropolis, including bank customs, industrial customs, etc. under the jurisdiction of Tianjin, will all be under the jurisdiction of the tax bureau. No tax should be levied less. If you dare to call me You know, whoever dares to make any mistakes in taxes, don’t worry about me being ruthless when the time comes!"

"Bing Xian, do we, the tax bureau, need to clarify with the commander of the three guards?"

There was some hesitation in the brows of the director of the tax department, and he looked at Chen Qiyu and said: "Especially those who work with bank customs and work customs. After all, these are affiliated to the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry. Now the tax department is like this..."

"You don't need to take care of this."

Chen Qiyu waved his hand and interrupted: "I will send someone to inform you of the matters that need to be clarified. You just need to do your job well."

This……

When the officials of the tax bureau heard what Chen Qiyu said, they all showed complicated expressions. Compared with the former, they seemed to be a little worried about the acceptance by bank customs and work customs.

After all, in the lawsuit with the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works, they were not of sufficient rank. If Chen Qiyu failed to withstand the pressure, they would be the unlucky ones in the end.

"Taking over the affairs of Chaoguan and Gongguan is a special decree from His Majesty."

How could Chen Qiyu not see this? In order to give everyone a reassurance, he said a little more, "Tianjin opens up the sea for trade. There will be many places where money will be used in the future. There must not be any mistakes in receiving it. You must do what you are supposed to do well." , I will solve what I am responsible for, and I hope that everyone can work together to govern and build Tianjin well."

"Here!"

After hearing this, the officials of the tax bureau dropped their minds and responded in unison with great enthusiasm.
